Synopsis
"A definitive biography." Robert Hughes, Time "A nearly flawless account of a remarkable artist . . . a compelling and accessible narrative for anyone even remotely interested in modern American art." Michael Kammen, The New York Times Book Review This acclaimed biography of Edward Hopper is essential reading for anyone interested in the world-famous realist artist. This second, expanded edition doubles the number of illustrations, and includes a new section of paintings in color. A newly added section on Hopper's international influence on culture, especially on contemporary art, poetry, and cinema, makes this edition unique. The original biography (Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography, Knopf, 1995) has long been considered the seminal review of Edward Hopper's life and work. The biography's focus is the laconic, introverted painter's stormy forty-three-year marriage to outspoken and gregarious Josephine ("Jo") Nivison, herself an artist, and draws extensively on Jo Hopper's intimate diaries, which she kept from the early 1930s until shortly before her death in 1968 (just 10 months after her husband died).

Edward Hopper: An Intimate Biography
Seller: Bookshelf of Maine, Franklin, ME, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Both book and dustjacket are in pristine condition. The definitive portrait of the iconic American realist painter, the book continues to draw powerful reactions for its raw, unvarnished look behind Hopper's melancholic canvases. The book functions just as much as a biography of Jo, highlighting how she acted as an essential eyewitness to his creative process, frequently saving him from severe painter's block despite enduring regular emotional and physical mistreatment. As the primary cataloger of Hopper's catalogue raisonné, the author's ability to tie specific diary entries and domestic arguments directly to the dates, locations, and somber moods of his most famous paintings (like Nighthawks or Early Sunday Morning) remains unmatched. This updated and expanded edition doubles the total number of illustrations and introduces a dedicated gallery of his paintings in full color. Very heavy book - nearly 800 pages.
